As some of you may know by now, at the moment I'm going through a major healing process. In the aftermath of doing two Liver & Gallbladder Cleanses a few months ago I've developed symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) as well as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

As I'm healing myself of these conditions naturally I've begun to share my journey in a series of videos.

The natural protocol that I'm following while effective - thankfully!!! - is creating a big hole in our finances. It's certainly been a lesson in trust, that somehow we will be provided with the means to do whatever it takes.

In that light I've decided to
extend my Loving Myself to Health Book Sale; you can now purchase all of
my raw recipe books at discounted prices while helping us cover our expenses. A
win-win! ;-)

Spring is officially here! Yippee! The weather has recently been so lovely and warm where we are near Sedona, Arizona. I've been sucking up all that gorgeous sunshine, especially since we'll soon be headed for the Canadian Great North. We're leaving in almost exactly one week, so this will be my last health update video for a little while.

I've been doing pretty good; abdominal pain has been minimal and as a result I've had a lot more energy as well. (Thank goodness!) I'm now enjoying increasingly longer walks every day and have even started getting ready for our imminent trip. I still have concerns about how the increased level of stress will affect my gut, but I have little choice but to be in trust: somehow I'll be given the energy and strength that I need. ;-)

I meant to mention in my previous video that I had a chance to speak with a lady, Judy Kemecsei, who has studied under Andreas Moritz for many many years and is therefore an expert in the Liver and Gallbladder Cleanse. She was very interested in my case as she has never heard of anyone suffering from such severe health issues afterward. Her thoughts are that my colon must have already been weak and that the toxins which came out during the two flushes I did aggravated it.

It's hard to know exactly what happened there but I agree that there must have been something already going on. For one thing I had a resurgence of candida overgrowth last summer - for the first time in years. My feeling is that while I took different products such as caprylic acid and olive leaf extract in order to kill the bad bugs, I didn't replenish my gut sufficiently with probiotics. I'm thinking that the series of five colonics that I had shortly before doing the Liver and Gallbladder Flushes further contributed to weaken my intestinal flora.

Anyhoo, what's done is done and is somehow perfect, as difficult as this might be to see. This is just something that I have to go through and learn from at this point... ;-)

OK, 'nuff said. I'll just let you watch the video. Talk to you again once I'm settled in Canada!

We're having some gorgeous sunny warm days here in Arizona right now. Yippee! Needless to say that I've been soaking up the Sun's natural healing energy as much as I can!

My health continues to improve daily, as I'm following Jini Patel Thompson's Elemental Diet, as outlined in her books Listen to Your Gut and The IBD Remission Diet, both available at her LTYG website. The inflammation is almost all gone (well, at least the external symptoms of it), my energy is gradually coming back, I'm putting on weight at a rate of about 3-4 lbs/week (woo hoo!), and I'm now eliminating almost every day... it's such a relief that what I'm doing is actually working, as quite frankly, it's hard to see what other options I had left, since juices were still somewhat irritating my bowels.

My initial idea was to begin to reintroduce blended foods this past week, but that turned out to be not realistic at all. After discussing it over with Don I've decided it best to follow Jini's recommendation and continue the Elemental Diet for at least another 4 weeks (for a total of 6). Not exactly a happy prospect but I can now embrace the fact that I need to give my bowels as much rest as possible, especially since we'll be back on the road next month to make our way north to Canada.

In this video I tell you a bit more about what's happened this past week and go over the various natural products and supplements that I'm taking in order to support my body's self-healing process. (You can find an exact list of these just below the video.)

I'm a big believer in quality. I spend countless hours online, researching the absolute best products and best deals!

Here is a list of the various health supplements that I'm presently taking, as well as where I purchased them from.

Elemental Diet & Other Products I recommend from Jini's LTYG Shoppe
I can't say enough good things about the products that Jini Patel Thompson has developed, as well as her customer service! Justin is always so helpful and accommodating and my orders usually ship on the same day that I place them. However, I find that some of the products that are manufactured by other companies are a little pricier than at other online stores. I'm thinking it's probably in order to make up for the discounts that you can take advantage of when becoming a member of her Wellness Circle. Anyhoo the following are the products that I recommend purchasing from the LTYG Shoppe:

General Vitamins & Minerals
I'm aware that some of the brands I opted for might not be the absolute best. I have since been pointed to Dr Bob Marshall website by health professional
friends that I deeply trust. The primary source of his products is Quantum Nutrition Labs, the world leader in excipient free (i.e. without fillers and flowing agents), live source and nutritional products.

Probiotics
I learned from Jini about a company called Natren that makes top quality probiotics. They offer probiotics in both dairy and dairy-free bases, in powder form (good to re-colonize from the mouth to the colon) and in capsules. They have also developed a special capsule called Healthy Trinity which ensures that each strain doesn't touch, therefore preserving its full potency.

It is absolutely key that these remain refrigerated in order to maintain the quality and potency. Make sure that your supplier stores their Natren probiotics in the refrigerator and ships in cold packs, preferably with one or two day shipping. Your safest bet is to order directly from Natren, although the prices are slightly higher. I found some Natren products at Vitacost for much cheaper however while certain bottles were shipped in cold packs, others weren't. (Go figure!!!)

Extended Recipe Book Sale
As you can imagine, following this Elemental Diet protocol and taking all of these natural products are creating a big hole in our finances. It's certainly been a lesson in trust, that somehow we will be provided with the means to do whatever it takes. In that light I've decided to extend my Loving Myself to Health Book Sale; you can now purchase all of my raw recipe books at a discount while helping us cover our expenses. A win-win! ;-)
